BCC 5.5.1 vs 5.8
Posted: Thu Mar 11, 2010 11:03 AM

Hi all,
no problem at all, FWH works great, just a curiosity:
I am seeing on the xharbour.org website that 2 xharbour binaries are available now,
the 1st for BCC 5.5.1 and the 2nd for BCC 5.8.

I always used BCC 5.5.1 but I would like to know if there are advantage to use the more recent 5.8 version.

Any related experience appreciated.

Best Regards,

Marco,

Aparently the advantage is the existence of some header files that are not available in bcc55, but besides that we have not noticed a sensible difference, though obviously there might be internal changes :-)

Silvio,

xHarbour 1.2.1 is the official published xHarbour version from its SourceForge repository:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xharbour/files/

Surely there are many changes after it, but it is up to the xHarbour dev team to publish new builds and make them available as official builds.

xharbour.com is not Borland compatible, and it is not free, afaik

regards, saludos

Dear Antonio,
Why not you try ?

try to create namefile.hil with your xharbour.exe

it create it but not insert all variables

try with this file test.prg

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

static oWnd
Function test()
DEFINE WINDOW oWnd title i18n("test language")
MENU BuildMenu() 
 ACTIVATE WINDOW oWndMain
retur nil

Function BuildMenu() 
  local oMenu
   MENU oMenu    2007
      MENUITEM "&Archivo"
         MENU
            MENUITEM i18n( "Especificar impresora" ) ;
               ACTION PrinterSetup() ;
               MESSAGE i18n( " Establecer la Configuración de su impresora. " )
            SEPARATOR
            MENUITEM i18n( "Salir" ) ;
               ACTION oWnd:end();
               MESSAGE i18n( " Terminar la ejecución del programa. " )
         ENDMENU
   ENDMENU
RETURN oMenu

with your xharbour.exe it create a file sample /jitalian.hil
this :

HIL The xharbour group ˜mD pþ `þ
American English „þ ú 4 àù Ù]D Ü( (American English (ú M ¨%F (ú M ú “pDen_US YI ÿÿÿÿ

and not insert all variables

why you not try ????

instead with the release modified
it create this :

HIL The xharbour group ˜mD pþ `þ
American English „þ ú 4 àù Ù]D Ü( (American English (ú M ¨%F (ú M ú “pDen_US YI ÿÿÿÿ 10Fsdi 2006 0 13Acerca de... 0 37Visitar la web de alanit en internet 0 22Especificar impresora 0 47 Establecer la Configuración de su impresora. 0 6Salir 0 38 Terminar la ejecución del programa. 0 38Gestión de del fichero de documentos. 0 22Gestión de documentos 0 38Gestión de del fichero de documentos. 0 22Gestión de documentos 0 31Finalizar el uso del programa. 0 19Salir del programa 0 113No puede salir del programa hasta que no cierre las ventanas abiertas sobre el mantenimiento que está manejando. 0 30¿Desea finalizar el programa? 0 20Gestión de clientes 0 6First 0 5Last 0 7Street 0 5City 0

return nil
